New YORK, July 2?.-Tbere was grest
excitement among tle brokers n the COT
ton Exchange this morning, and August
cotton broke sc points, carrying prices
down to 81 cents. The dlop was due
TO decline of points in Liverpool,
equal 70 ! , points here, and the heavy
selling of long cotton, though the bulls
claimed August was raided to some eX-
tent y good many stop orders were
caught, and when August reached 10
cents all support seemed 10 be
withdrawn, wlereupCn there was
wild scramble to sell. August
was the center Of attraction end the sales
were very heavy. II was rcported that
bull cIiques, led by Solomon Ranger and
John IL. Inman, were selling. These
lie. ders are SAID 10 have taken hold of the
bull deal when Jullus HInge recently
dropped it with burnt fingers. Some
contend that the drop to-day was en-
gineered by the bulls to encourage q
short interest or 10 make scoop, but
generally the selling was attributed 10
the decline N Liverpool, favorable crop
reports from the south, and the desire Of
the longs, biz and little, to get out. New
cotton was offered from Southern Texas
for shipment to New York, which is said
to be somethingsalmos unprecedented 81
this time Uf the year.

Every one, by discovering his prevailing
Deficiencies, and ordering his life and habits
so as to counterfeit them, is, in fact, exercis-
ing that true self control which is alone
worthy of the name, No wiser or more
valuable lesson can be learned in the whole
system of education than thus to know self,
and to minister to its deepest needs. Neither
is it SO very difficult task, especially when
begun i'll early life. Nearly every intelligent
youth knows something of his own bias He
knows whether he is irrlIned TO Ike hasty or
phlegmatic, idle or diigent, frugal or ex.
trayagant, selfish or generous. If, according
to this knowledge, he will cultivate assidu-
ously those qualities in which he is deficient,
seeking opportunity for their exercise and
resolutely bringing them TO the front when
ever they fall into the rear, he will acquire
an ever increasing power of self control that
will go far toward establishing and strength

count OF the Body Boiling on the Isl
and--An Eye Witness story.
Rapids city has not yet recovered from
the futter of excitement which was oc-
casioned by the boiling of the human
body on the island near that city Sunday
morning. The first impulse when the
news of the unusual discovery reached
the shore, doubtless WAS that some of the
semi>civilized royal party from the Sand
wich islands-Queen Kapiolani-had es-
! capped aud coming up the river thus far
had selected the island because of its
similarity to their native land. and had
located upon 1t with view of seeking
whom they might devour-feasting of

from Rapids City this morning. THE
excitement in town Sunday was tremen
dous; some people were scared almost
out of their Wits. The way the discovery
was made you know. was that fire was
noticed by some boys from the city
named Goodeu and O'Haloran on the
| island, and they went over there to see
| what it was, and also do some fishing
The Gopden boy started over toward the
fire to see what it was, and saw a large
| boiler full of something boiling vigorous
ly over a furnace made of stones piled up
against the bank of the island, which is
here about six feet high. The stones
were arranged like chimney up against
| the bank. so AS to make draft Two
young men were there. and on the boy
asking what they were dong, they made
some remark about cooking dinner, aud
proceeded to show up the contents of the
| boiler which were human remalns. This
| frightened the boy and made him sick,
and he sought his companion and eau,
